Contributed photo WISCASSET The Lincoln County Historical Association works with local schools, including home schools, to advance the historical heritage of Lincoln County and Maine. As part of that effort, the organization’s education director has developed two booklets that provide educators and their students with an overview of historical data in an interdisciplinary manner: “Settlement during the War Years – 17th & 18th Century Challenges in MidCoast ” and “The 1800s – A Century of Highs and Lows.” One topic common to both booklets is food. A significant addition to the culinary options of Americans, not invented in Maine but in Boston, was the jelly bean. Invented by William Schrafft in 1861, the candy was promoted as the perfect gift to send to Union soldiers fighting in the Civil War.
